It would be tough to figure how many made guys there have been in the American LCN from the beginning to the present. You see the 5,000 figure for it's peak get thrown around a lot but, if you look at the supposed max membership of each family individually and then add it up, it's closer to half that. Currently there are approximately 1,000 made members remaining.

The list I gave you of 114 guys is, of course, known members who have flipped over the years. Most of them over the past few decades (which gives the false impression that "everyone" is flipping now) but some were guys who were giving info to law enforcement way back in the day. Obviously one would have to assume there have been many others like that throughout the years that were never discovered.

They were never indicted on a pump and dump together. If you're going to continue to use Wikipedia to fuel your fantasies, you should check the bottom of the page for links to press releases and verifiable sources. That indictment was about the waterfront, where Chucky has spent half his life.


Obviously he's referring to this indictment. Bellomo (who had been indicted in the case previously for conspiracy to embezzle union funds) and Tuzzo are both in it but it was Thomas Cafaro and Ernie Muscarella who were charged with stock fraud.
